Florida Internet Sex Crimes
Smartphones, computers, and tablets have become part of our everyday lives, which is why internet sex crimes have dramatically increased in recent years. Online sex crimes generally involve arranging in-person meetings and activity or the possession, sale, or sharing of prohibited digital images or recordings.
Our firm handles the following types of internet sex crimes:
- Child pornography – Knowingly possessing, viewing, or otherwise controlling a photo or video of a minor engaging in any sexual conduct is a third-degree felony, which carries a maximum prison term of five years.
- Online solicitation of a minor – Knowingly seduce, solicit, entice, lure, or attempt to do any of those things to get a minor to participate in sexual activity is a third-degree felony.
- Traveling to meet a child – Traveling or attempting to do so in order to engage in a sexual act with a minor is a second-degree felony, punishable by imprisonment for up to 15 years.
- Lewd or lascivious conduct – This offense means intentionally masturbating, exposing genitals in a sexual or offensive manner, or otherwise committing a sexual act by using an online service to be viewed by a minor under 16 years old. If the offender is at least 18 years of age, then it is a second-degree felony. If the offender is under 18, then it is a third-degree felony.
In addition to a lengthy prison sentence and a fine worth thousands of dollars, a conviction will also result in registration as a sex offender. Furthermore, if the offense occurred in multiple states or you crossed state lines to allegedly commit a crime, then you may be subject to federal charges, which can lead to harsher penalties, including years spent in a federal prison.

"Thanks Lyle and Taylor!!!"I had the pleasure of hiring Mazin Law for a situation I was going through. Attorney Taylor and Lyle brought me into their family (so to speak) and represented my case until it was dismissed. The care and compassion they showed to their occupation and my case, was second to none. The firm was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had during this process. They kept me updated with any changes that occurred regarding my case, up till the moment I could breathe a sign of relief, when my case officially was dismissed. I would recommend Mazin Law to anyone, and I could not be happier with my decision to trust the staff with my well being.- Charles S.

"I highly recommend Mr. Mazin, he definitely is top notch and of the very best."Great attorney. In search of an attorney we had came across Mr. Mazin. We reached out after reading reviews, as most of us do, and he immediately took my phone call. We were in a desperate situation and needed an attorney almost immediately. Not only did he review the case while on the phone with me, but made sure to even reach out to others who were involved within the case. We hadn't signed a contract or made a payment and he had done more for us than several other attorneys that we had spoken with. I explained the details in reference to the case and he asked that I send him anything that he could review and give his legal expertise. I was utterly shocked. He's extremely polite, diligent, and more so he's worth every dollar. He let's you know from the get go, that when you invest into him, he makes you family. He treats your case as if he were going through it himself or a close relative. He advised our family and educated us on how these upcoming court proceedings would happen, and made sure to let us know that he would work with us in any way possible.- Angela V.
